This is utter madness! Its also interesting as hell. Would you have thought in a million years that we'd see Middle Eastern/African nations begging the Russians to use their bases? The politics of this thing are beyond me. We're helping the Saudis in Yemen, the Russians are helping Assad in Syria, the Saudis are against Assad and yet Yemen is asking the Russians to help.

I don't quite get this. Enemy of my enemy is one thing but this? I'm gonna need a score card to keep up with the games being played here.
